There are also many issues that encompass the law and the Internet that could be discussed. For example, consider the circumstances that permit an easy, virtually unregulated way for devious people to sell unapproved drugs to individuals or to illegally sell approved drugs via the Internet.

What types of nonmarket business issues are influenced by Internet free speech and privacy issues?
